Why do we have to fight?
Why can't spend our time, trying?
I wanna be close to you
Keep love from slipping through, my hands
The words said in anger aimed at someone
Are hard to take back once the damage is done

Let's stop now.

[Chorus]
As long as we're here, alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you, for all that it's worth
And one of these days, we're gonna understand why.

Let's make the most of our time
As long as we're here (Yeah)

Some people live their lives
Holding their fears, inside them
Afraid to build windows
To let the light of the world in.
They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls
If they could just tear them down, they'd have it all

[Chorus]

Let's make the most of our time
As long as we're here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

When you're with me, I breathe easy
You are my need, right now love me

[Chorus: x2]

Let's make the most of our time
Oh, I'll make the most of our time
As long as we're here,
As long as we're here.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
